I am trying to use the new OpenWeatherMap Stations API to post measurements from my local weatherstation to the OWM DB. I will be using a Raspberry Pi server for this, but for now I want to test out the api. I am using Postman to do some requests. I have already created a valid station with my api key.
A few weeks back I posted one measurement to it, and I can see that measurement was saved when I do a GET request on this station id. I saved the request in Postman and tried the same request (adjusted the date) but the api returns "204 No Content".
This is the curl request I am sending (used the example from the api docs):
curl --location --request POST 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/measurements?appid=<my_api_key>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '[
{
"station_id": "<my_station_id>",
"dt": 1631613233,
"temperature": 20.0,
"wind_speed": 1.2,
"wind_gust": 3.4,
"pressure": 1021,
"humidity": 87,
"rain_1h": 2,
"clouds": [
{
"condition": "NSC"
}
]
}
]'
And this is the answer I am getting from the API (the body is empty):
{
'Server': 'openresty',
'Date': 'Tue, 14 Sep 2021 09:53:54 GMT',
'Connection': 'keep-alive',
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials': 'true',
'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET, POST'
}
Has somebody encountered this before, or am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: As I was looking today (on the next day after I posted this), my measurements where saved. Apperently it takes a few minutes (or hours?) for the api to update. If anyone knows why that might be, please let me know.
CodePudding user response:
Their docs says that
In case of successful measurements dispatch method returns an HTTP code 204.
It means your request was successful, now you can GET
info.
